I'm a dweeb and researched it also. Lotto is correct. The "State" schools were "land Grant " schools, many of which started as agricultural schools, and this was back in the 50's and 60's...and I mean 1850/1860. I just googled "land grant universities" and there was more info than I cared to see, but there is no truth that the "state" schools are second tier.
